From Artifactory version 7.41.1, you can set the artifacts stored in local CRAN repositories to confine to the official CRAN spec requirements.
Set the following system property in the $JFROG_HOME/artifactory/var/etc/artifactory/artifactory.system.properties
file to save your CRAN archives in the correct hierarchy.
"artifactory.cran.archiveMover.enabled"
You can move your existing Archives to the correct path using the following Move CRAN Archives REST API. Requires the artifactory.cran.archiveMover.enabled
property to be enabled.
Restart Artifactory after setting the property for the change to take place.
